What you will need:

1. 1 16 oz. can of traditional refried beans of choice (I bought mine at Sprouts)

How to prepare guacamole:

First things first, prep the homemade guacamole. Add avocado, lime juice, garlic powder, salt + pepper, and mix it all up until you get a creamy consistency. And set this aside while you prepare the bean mixture.

Prepping bean layer:

Add the beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, taco seasoning, salt + pepper to taste, and mix it all up.

Layering the dip:

Add the bean mixture to a 7×11 or 8×8 baking dish and spread into an even layer. And then add an even layer f the homemade guacamole on top of the bean mixture. Next a layer of sour cream, shredded cheese, diced olives, diced cherry tomatoes, and green onions. And refrigerate the dip until ready to enjoy.

Yes, this makes a great prep ahead appetizer option. Prepare it all the night before, cover, and store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
